Top 5 Things To Look For When Selecting The Best PC Gaming Chair

It’s no secret that PC gamers are a dedicated bunch who tend to game for more than a few hours a day. Our buying guide aims to help you find the best PC gaming chair on your budget! We’ve curated a list of what we think are the biggest things one should look for when making a decision on what gaming chair to get, so check it out below!

Comfort: No One Wants To Sit On A Rock

Comfort is by far the most important thing when it comes to getting a chair. No one wants to feel like they’re gaming on a log. It’s also never fun to game and get distracted by an aching butt because your seat has no cushioning. Not everyone wants a gaming chair that feels like their sitting on a couch either though and would prefer something comfortable but firm, so we’ve made sure that this buying guide has good options for both!

Ergonomics: Please Don’t Mess Up Your Back…

Look we only get one back in this lifetime so I think it makes sense to make sure the chair that you’re getting provides adequate support. Fortunately, the chairs we’ve curated do a good job at this so there’s little to worry about. I highly recommend taking a look at the image above as it gives an accurate representation of how you should be sitting so that you can protect your health long-term.

Style: Do You Like How It Looks?

I have yet to meet a gamer who doesn’t appreciate nice looking PC Cases, Graphics Cards, or any other PC Components, so it makes sense that we’d care about the style of what we’re sitting in too. We’re not all a monolith though, and some people will prefer racing chairs, while others will want something that’s sleek, but a little toned down. The buying guide encompasses a variety of style due to this.

Material: What’s It Made Of?

People don’t talk about Materials, but there a huge factor and one of the reasons such price disparity exists. A lot of people just look at the surface and see two chairs that look similar, but one’s much more expensive so they go with the cheaper one. Usually this chair won’t last anywhere near as long though because the materials are most likely of a lesser quality. This doesn’t mean that the cheaper chair is bad, but it’s just something to be aware of.

Price: How Much Is This Going To Set You Back?

What you can get is limited to how much you can realistically put towards a gaming chair. Knowing this we’ve broken this buying guide down into different budgets so you can see some of the best available gaming chairs in your budget range.

So now that we’ve broken down what it is you should be looking for, we’re going to actually get into the buying guide. I ranked things based on my perspective so you might not one hundred percent agree with me, but I’ve included more than enough for you to find something you like!

Best Gaming Chairs on a Budget

Looking for an awesome gaming chair for long gaming sessions, but don’t have the extra cash to fork over after a good Steam sale? Then these next few gaming chairs are what you may be looking for, with all of these chairs affordable to those on a budget. If you’re looking for chairs under $100 up to $200, I recommend you check out this section!

Also Note: Prices do fluctuate so if something is a little bit above the determined price that’s why!

Our next gaming chair, the Hormall Executive chair, is one that almost any gamer can put in their home and be happy with. This is because, unlike a lot of other chairs in the price range, the Homall comes in a number of color options, allowing the buyer to match the chair best with their home decor.

Another option that makes this chair great for a lot of users is the chairs high weight capacity. While this may not be a problem for a lot of people, finding a good chair for a heavier gamer seems to be an issue. Thanks to the Homall and a near 300lb weight capacity, this isn’t an issue.

For comfort and durability purposes, the entire Homall chair, from top to bottom, is covered in leather. And, for those that tend to move around a bit while gaming, the chair comes equipped with a 360 degree and multi-direction swivel, allowing for freedom of movement.

The big knock against the Homall comes when putting the chair together. This is because sometimes parts, or even instructions, are missing from the box the chair is shipped in, and in other cases the included screws are not the right sizes for the chairs holes. It’s not known why this happens, but it has effected enough people that it is a bit of an annoyance.

Once you manage to get your chair together, however, there won’t be much else to dislike about it. Perfect for matching anybody’s style or comfort needs, you need to buy a Homall Executive chair!

Flash Furniture’s Mid-Back Gaming Chair

Our next gaming chair comes courtesy of Flash Furniture with their Mid-Back Mesh Task Chair. While this chair is, of course, great for gaming, what makes it really stand out are it’s durability features.

Despite being a budget gaming chair, this chair is made with a strong vinyl base that makes it more sturdy than other chairs in the price range. This Task Chair is also made using fire retardant material, which means that it would be able to survive a fire should the worst come to pass.

That doesn’t mean that it isn’t comfortable as well, with a padded leather seat to rest your buns on during long online matches. This chair also offers the ability to use it with or without the option of the armrest, thanks to having an adjustable “Flip-Up” mechanic.

Some people may very well choose to go without too because the arm rest are unfortunately on the short side. Also of note is the chairs construction, which, while not overly complicated, is a bit more complex than most people may be used to for a simple gaming chair.

For what it cost, this may be one of the strongest and longest lasting chairs that money can buy. This makes this chair from Flash Furniture a delight for any gamer.

Tangkula High-Back Ergonomic Executive Chair

This buying guide is, as you know, being made with gaming computer chairs in mind. While that is all well and good, what if you would like a chair that you could use at the office as well? For this, we have the Tangkula High Back Office Chair.

While no doubt great for gaming, especially thanks to it’s plush and comfortable seat and back, the Tangkula is also a great choice for those looking for an office chair. This is thanks to the all-black, professional looking design of the chair, making it great for work and play.

If you are like myself and tend to be a bit on the heavier side, you may find it sometimes hard to find a good gaming chair. Here the Tangkula has you covered as well, featuring a high weight capacity meaning that most gamers can sit in the chair without worry of it breaking down.

Unfortunately this higher weight limit doesn’t accommodate for those with wider hips, as the seats width is a bit on the narrow side. In addition, the seat, at max height, still sits a bit lower, making it hard to use for those with a higher desk.

Small issues aside, this chair is one that is great for use at home or at work. Comfortable, sturdy, and great looking, the Tangkula is a chair anyone would love to own.

Green Forest Mid-Back Gaming Chair

While this chair, the GreenForest office chair, does not seem to have much going for it in terms of fancy feature, it by no means makes it a bad gaming chair. In fact, this chair may be one of the best chairs you can get on a budget.

The GreenForest is made to be sturdy and stable, being supported by five sturdy caster wheels. This allows the chair to easily move around if need be and keeps it strong enough that you are able to sit on the chair without fear of it breaking.

The seat is also very comfortable to sit in, thanks to the big and plush fabric seat, making it great for a night of gaming. If you happen to live in a warmer area, then you will appreciate the breathable mesh back of the GreenForest, which allows air to easily flow through the back of the chair, keeping you cool on a warm day.

Sure, there isn’t much else to this chair outside of the basics. In this case, however, it doesn’t matter, as what the GreenForest Office Chair does it does perfectly, making it a great choice for a gaming chair.

Amazon Basic’s Mid-Back Mesh Chair

If anything is true about the Amazon Basics line of products, it’s that Amazon provides users with top notch quality with a low price point. Such is the case with our next chair, the Amazon Basics Mid-Back Mesh Chair.

The chair, which has a breathable mesh backing, is easy to assemble. With the help of the instructions and some elbow grease, you will be able to have this chair ready for gaming in no time.

When you sit in your newly constructed chair, you will notice two things: first that the armrest are incredibly short. This can lead to some awkwardness and discomfort when resting your arms on the chair. You will also notice that the seat itself is in contrast to this, as the seat is thick and comfortable, making it great for long gaming sessions.

The chair also has an adjustable and lockable rocking feature. This allows you to lock the chair into a position that is perfect and comfortable for you, making it perfect for those that may have a mounted wall display for their computer.

While you may need to find some way to occupy your arms, every other part of this chair makes it perfect for gaming. With the Amazon Basics Mid-Back Mesh Chair, you will get a chair that you can be proud to say you own, and not break the bank doing so.

GTracing Executive High-Back Gaming Chair

GTracing brings us our next chair with it’s high-back Executive gaming chair. When it comes to this particular chair GTracing seems to have gone out of it’s way to ensure that this chair was made with gamers in mind.

For starters is the beautiful and angular design of the chair. The chair’s design makes the chair look as if it is something directly off of a space station, making it look right at place alongside your top-tier gaming setup.

This cool design comes in two different color options, green and red, to help you coordinate the color with the rest of your gear. While gaming you will be guaranteed to always be in comfort, thanks to the special padding used for this chair, which assures maximum comfort for extended play periods.

From comfort to style, the GTracing Executive Gaming Chair has a little something for each gamer, making it a great choice for your new battle station.

Amazon Basic’s Low-Back Computer Chair

Amazon, as an online marketplace, is known for their more affordable prices than competitors and their amazing Prime service, but did you know that they are known for making quality products as well? The Amazon Basics line of products contains various goods for the home or the office, among others, and one such product is this: the Amazon Basics Low-Back Computer Chair.

The chair comes shipped disassembled but is very simple to put together. Thanks to the clear cut instructions as well as well labeled pieces, anyone should be able to construct this chair in a matter of minutes.

Once constructed, users will be spoiled to a variety of nice little features. These features include a contoured mesh back, which helps the chair support the users back, and adjustable height for people to get the most possible legroom under their gaming desk.

On the downside of things, the padding of the chair is only about two inches thick, which can make the chair a bit uncomfortable for long periods of time. There is also a weight limit to the chair of only 220 pounds, so if you are a bigger person or one that has a lot of muscle, you may find that this chair will have trouble holding your weight.

All and all, the chair may not be for everyone, but it is still a great chair for those on a budget. If you are in quick need of a strong computer chair, you can’t go wrong with the Amazon Basics Low-Back chair.

Best-Office High-Back Mesh Chair

Have you been looking for a gaming chair that is comfortable for both short and tall gamers alike? Then the BestOffice Mid-Back Mesh Office Chair is for you!

Despite being called “Mid-Back”, the back of the chair is actually quite tall at around 24 inches. This makes the back great for both those that are tall or of a more average height, as it allows you to sit back comfortably without issue.

While sitting back, you may want to try and not actually lean back in your chair. This is because, despite being of great height, the back is still on the weaker side. Leaning back or otherwise putting extra pressure on the back of your chair can cause the back to snap in half, leaving you plummeting to the ground.

Luckily there’s a workaround to this, thanks to the chair’s “spring tilt” control. This control allows you to tilt your seat into a position that you are comfortable with and lock it in, which helps to almost eliminate the issue above.

While no one can claim that the BestOffice chair is one of the sturdiest available, it certainly does it’s job well. If you are looking for a comfortable seat for a few straight DOTA matches, then you really can’t complain about the easy to assemble and affordable BestOffice Office Chair.

Giantex GHP PU Leather Executive Gaming Chair

The GHP PU Leather “Bucket Seat” designed chair by Giantex brings us into our next entry. Unlike some others in this guide, a few issues are present, but so are a lot of positives.

Let’s get the bad news out of the way quick: The back of the chair is a lot less durable than the rest of it. While the base of the chair is made of durable PVC that will make it hard to break, the back seems to be a weak link and sometimes can snap off after a few weeks.

Also of note is the reclining feature of the chair, which leaves a lot to be desired. The chair does not seem to recline at a comfortable angle, with the chair sitting too far back. This makes it a feature that not everyone will like to use.

On the plus side, the chair is amazingly comfortable. Thanks to the bucket seat design and thick padding on both the seat and armrest, the chair is a dream to sit in. This makes for comfortable gaming or computer use that can rival some of the more expensive chairs.

Sure, the Giantex can be a bit of a gamble with it’s flaws, but it is one that can more than pay off with the amount of comfort it provides. This is why I would still recommend this chair to any gamer on a budget.

Merax Devil’s Eye High-Back Gaming Chair

As the old saying goes, “The Devil is in the Details”, and so is the case with our next chair from Merax, known as the “Devil’s Eye”.

Made using a combination of breathable mesh and leather, the Devil’s Eye is a chair that is designed not only to be really comfortable, but to stay cool as well. This makes the chair pure joy to sit in for any period of time and in any temperature.

To aid in the user’s comfort, the Devil’s Eye has tilt functions. This function can be adjusted to for more or less tension, which will allow you to move around in the chair as freely as you please.

Assembly of the Devil’s Eye can be a bit on the rough side. First of all, when opening your chair, you will have to do battle with a rather strong factory smell. Then, during assembly, you will notice that some of the drill holes for the screws are not lined up properly, which can make it hard to put together.

Once the chair is put together, you won’t have much to complain about. The Devil’s Eye may be a bit complicated at times, but is worth it in the end thanks to the chair’s unparalleled comfort for a relatively affordable price.

LANGRIA High-Back Gaming Chair

The large majority of gaming chairs that you will find come made with a “Racing” design, which is made to make the chair look similar to those that you would find in a race car. One such chair with that design is our next chair from LANGRIA.

The LANGRIA chair comes in three different color options: Black, Red, and Orange. This give the consumer options when buying their chair, as it allows you to buy a chair that matches your style or gaming gear best.

The LANGRIA is also designed, as many “Racing” style chairs are, with gaming in mind. This is because of the many features that make sitting in place for hours more comfortable, such as an ergonomic design that contours to the players body. In addition to this is the chair’s tilt features, which allows gamers to lock their chair into any angle between 90 to 105 degrees, allowing for the most possible comfort.

This chair isn’t for everyone, unfortunately. The LANGRIA is both a little on the firm side, which some people may find less comfortable, as well as a narrow seat. This seat can make it hard for people with wider hips to sit comfortably in the chair for long periods of time.

The majority of PC gamers will still find a lot to love about this chair despite it’s flaws for others. While it is one of many “Racing” style gaming chairs, the LANGRIA just may be a cut above the rest.

Let’s face it: if you are a taller individual, a lot of computer chairs can be a bit small for you, leaving you feeling awkward. Thankfully for you, there is the Kinsal Large Size Racing Chair.

This chair is made with taller folks in mind, able to encompass anyone up to 6’5 comfortably. This makes it a great option if other chairs don’t feel right to you, and is one of the only true options out there for the big and tall.

In terms of comfort, the Kinsal provides a lot of unique options, such as special padding for both your head and lumbar region of your back. Need to take a quick rest? You can with the Kinsal, which has the capability of stretching out to 180 degrees, making it flat as a bed if you so choose.

Not all is perfect with the Kinsal, unfortunately, as the build of the chair is less than perfect. The base that the chair sets on is a bit on the unstable side, and can sometimes even break. This makes for a chair that can sometimes wobble and send you crashing to the ground, which may turn you off from this chair.

As stated before, there are not too many big and tall options out there for gaming chairs, and the Kinsal is one of the best. While it has it’s problems, the comfort and height support of the Kinsal Large Size Racing Chair is something that few can compete with.

Amazon, known for their awesome online shopping service, also provides a few good options when it comes to office products. One of these products is their High-Back Executive chair.

This chair is one that would be good for almost any area you may want to use it in, thanks to its choices of black and brown colors. These color choices help the chair to fit into almost any setting, making it great for both home or the office.

The chair has a fully adjustable tilt and height mechanism, that helps it to fit the comfort settings of whoever may use it. While the tilt setting is nice, setting the chair in any position and locking it in doesn’t seem to always work, with the locking mechanism malfunctioning at times.

Another thing working against it is the size of the chair may come off a bit small to some, especially considering the chair’s high-back design. Despite it’s size, the chair is really comfortable, with thick padding all around making for a very cushy seat.

Finally, the price of the Amazon Basics High Back Chair is just around the $110 dollar mark. This makes this chair a fairly affordable option that gives gamers a chair with a great look and feel.

CMO 24-hour High-Back Ergonomic Chair

The CMO 24 Hour gaming chair just may have one of the oddest names that you will find for a gaming chair, but one that is well deserved. That is because you can easily find your self sitting in this chair for 24 hours at a time.

Made using the strongest of Nylon material for both the wheels and the fabric, the CMO is a chair that is not going to break easy. This combines with the hefty 350 pound weight capacity to make it one of the strongest and sturdiest chairs around.

What makes the CMO unique, and what makes it possible to use this chair for extended periods, is the chair’s many customization options for comfort. This includes adjustable height and tilt for the chair, adjustable lumbar support for your back, and adjustable height for the chair’s t-shaped armrest.

All these features and more make for a chair that you will never want to leave once you get into it. This is a good thing because if you own a CMO 24, you will be ready to game long into the night

LANGRIA Mid-Back Executive Chair

LANGRIA is a brand name that you may have heard of before, known for making a number of different office products. One of their best products is this chair: the Mid-Back Mesh Executive Office Chair.

The material that the chair is made of, a combination of cotton and Korean mesh, is super strong, never getting torn or otherwise damaged. The Korean mesh also leads itself to the breathability of the chair, which keeps the air flowing through your chair and keeping moisture and temps low.

If you like to recline in your chair, then you will love this LANGRIA chair. The chair can recline from 90 degrees all the way to 113 degrees, allowing you to lean back comfortably in the chair while gaming.

The biggest drawback of this chair comes from the fact that, although the chair has adjustable height, the highest it goes is still fairly low. This can make the chair a bit awkward for taller individuals.

If you are someone who moves a lot, you know how much of a pain it is when items get damaged during transit. Thankfully you will not have to worry about that with the LANGRIA Mid-Back, which gives you both strength and comfort for your money.

VIVA Office Ergonomic Gaming Chair

Viva Office brings us our next chair with their office chair with a Racing style. Despite having a style that is similar to other gaming chairs, at first look you notice that this chair looks quite different from the norm.

The Viva Office sports a unique take on the traditional racing style, featuring a black and yellow color and padding that wraps around the top of the chair like a snake. This interesting design choice isn’t just for comfort, as it is sure to start a few conversations as well.

For additional comfort, the Viva Office features flip-up armrest, which allows you the option of using your chair with or without the rest. For those that have longer legs or a higher desk, the Viva Office also features easily adjustable height controls, that allows you to adjust your chair to the perfect height.

While maybe a bit basic, you can’t really ask for more out of the Viva Office. Comfort and fun are the name of the game, making the Viva Office a worthy gaming chair.

Comfort Products Commodore II Gaming Chair

I’m not sure about anybody else, but when I here the word “Commodore”, I immediately think of one of the original gaming computers, the Commodore 64. This is why the name Commodore II seems somewhat appropriate for our next chair from Comfort Products.

Featuring one of the highest weight limits at nearly 400 pounds, the Commodore II is a chair that is sturdy to use for almost anyone. This is aided by the chair’s chrome steel frame, which is strong and adds extra support to the chair as a whole.

All this stability does seem to come at the cost of comfort, at least in longer gaming sessions. The chair’s curved design can be comfortable for short burst, but can cause discomfort over long periods of sitting, especially if you are on the larger side.

To somewhat remedy this, the Commodore II does have a plush and adjustable head rest. This head rest can be positioned perfectly to your neck and head, which can prevent any sort of neck discomfort.

All in all, the Commodore II is a strong, sturdy gaming chair, if not the most comfortable. Regardless, it still makes for an awesome chair choice for those looking for a chair that is as sturdy as they come.

Best Mid-Range Gaming Chairs

Have a bit of extra cash to spend, and want to use it towards a high quality and comfortable gaming chair? For you, we have a number of mid-range gaming chairs, that come between the price of $200-400 dollars, and also provide a number of different features from our budget gaming chairs

DXRacer Formula Series Newedge Gaming Chair

The DXRacer, as the name implies, is designed in the popular Race Car style, featuring an Ergonomic Bucket seat… which unfortunately is a problem for this seat.

The bucket design allows for a deeper seat, which some people will love. Where the problem comes in is the “wings” on either side of the seat, which have steel bars running through them. These bars can make for some awkward and uncomfortable seating issues.

Not all is doom and gloom though, as there is a lot to love about the DXRacer, not the least of which is the high backrest. This backrest allows gamers of all sizes to sit back comfortably, being able to encompass the entire body.

For added comfort, the DXRacer comes with optional cushions for both your head and neck. This, in combination with soft armrest, can almost help you to forget about any of the comfort issues that the seat’s design may have caused.

It can take some getting used to, but the DXRacer Newedge is worth the effort, giving gamers all the comfort that they need and while also sporting an amazing design that all your friends will envy.

La-Z-Boy Bellamy Office Chair

La-Z-Boy may be one of, if not the most, recognizable names when it comes to chairs and other furniture. This is because they simply know what they are doing, as evidenced by this chair, the Bellamy Executive Office Chair.

Made of heavy-bonded leather and sporting a coffee brown color, this chair has class written all over it. The Bellemy has a look that will fit right at home in any office or at home for gaming, making it a chair of great versatility.

The chair is made to contour to the body for comfort as well. It does this by using memory foam in the cushion and layered pillows on the back of the chair, providing a form fitting comfort.

Assembly of the chair is the only real downside for the Bellemy. This is due to the fact that the chair can sometimes ship with missing instructions, making it hard to assemble or finish assembling the chair. However, the cases of this happening seem to be few and far between.

Overall, the La-Z-Boy Bellemy more than lives up to the standards of any recliner put out by the brand, with this gaming chair being the definition of comfort.

Serta Smart Layers Puresoft Chair

Sure, Serta is known for making furniture such as beds, but they also have a good line of other furniture as well. One such piece of furniture is their Air Health and Wellness Executive Office Chair.

Much like their mattresses, this gaming chair is pillow soft… literally. The Air Health contains several layered pillows that provide for comfort that is unlike any other chair you could use.

For added comfort, the chair is able to adapt it’s comfort to your movement, thanks to their unique self-adjusting lumbar pad. For height and tilt, you can easily adjust these settings, as there are two easy-access levers on either side of the seat.

The height function is also where this chair seems to fall a bit short. Some people have claimed that the air cylinder that keeps the chair at a set height has a tendency to malfunction. As a result, after a few months, you are unable to set the height on your chair at all.

This doesn’t seem to be an issue that effects everyone, so you can feel relatively secure in making your purchase. If you ever wanted a chair that is as soft as any mattress, then the Serta is the way to go!

Arozzi is a name that should be familiar to many gamers in the world, as they provide many quality and stylish gaming products. The Torretta Series Gaming Racing chair is no exception to this.

One thing that can be said for certain about the Torretta is that it gives gamers options. These options start with the many colors available to choose from, allowing you to match your chair to the rest of your gaming gear or your living space.

Even more options are available considering that literally every part of this chair is adjustable. From height to armrest, swivel and reclining, every part of this chair allows you to adjust it to your liking for more comfort. Also added for your comfort is a lower back pad, which can keep your back from becoming uncomfortable during longer gaming sessions.

All the extra levers and knobs that come with the added adjustment options makes the assembly of the chair a bit more difficult than a lot of other chairs. On top of this, the seat itself may not be for everyone, as the armrest are a bit close together, making for a narrow seat.

If there is anything most gamers love, it’s options, and this is exactly what they will get with the versatile Arozzi Torretta Series chair.

SPACE Seating Professional SpaceGrid Padded Chair

If one were to travel to outer space, they can expect that the seat they are in would be strong enough to stand up to the rigors of space travel. With that in mind, can the SPACE gaming chair live up to those kind of durability standards?

Awful introduction aside, the answer to that question is an emphatic “Yes”. This is because the SPACE is made using strong and durable nylon as well as Eco-friendly leather, which makes an extremely durable chair.

As durable as the chair is, the extra decor on the chair is not. Actually, a lot of people claim that these ornamental pieces tend to fall off fairly easily, making them essentially useless.

This really doesn’t effect the chair at all, which is a seat that is comfortable to sit in for long periods of time, as well as convenient. The convenience comes from a one-touch seat adjustment feature, which allows you to easily switch up the height of your chair.

Able to stand up to the rigors of life, there is no doubt that the SPACE Eco-Leather Seat is “out of this world”.

HON VL702 High-Back Office Chair

The manufacturer of our next chair is Basyx, which seems like an apt manufacturer for this chair. That’s because the chair we are talking about, the HON VL702, gives you just that: the basics.

In fact, some people find the chair maybe a bit too basic for the price you pay. The chair, while good, doesn’t have a lot of the features that you may find in some other chairs in a similar price range.

For your money, however, you do get plenty of quality. This includes an incredibly strong construction, meaning that you will never have to worry about falling to the floor while you are using the chair.

What really helps this chair’s value is how great it is for tall people, made with a “big and tall” design in mind. Not only can tall people sit comfortably, but anyone who uses this chair can also adjust the armrest on the chair to any height, giving the user the perfect sit.

While maybe not the fanciest of chairs, the HON VL702 gives consumers plenty to be happy about, providing a comfortable seat for gamers of all sizes.

VIVA OFFICE High-Back Office Chair

VIVA OFFICE! This is what you may be yelling yourself after you get a look at our next chair: the Viva Office High-Back Executive Chair.

The chair features a breathable mesh back, which helps to create air flow through the chair. This helps to reduce heat and moisture that may build up on the chair.

What is really cool about the Viva Office is that the chair has individually adjustable features, allowing you to customize your chair for the most possible comfort. Should any of these pieces break for whatever reason, you can easily replace them thanks to the companies free component exchange.

The may be something you need to use, as the chair suffers from some stability issues. Screws and other pieces can easily come loose and become lost, causing the chair become unstable and, in rare cases, break down.

That said, few chairs can compare with the Viva Office in terms of the sheer amount of customization that you get the chair. It is for this reason that we can’t suggest the Viva Office Executive Chair highly enough.

DXRacer Classic Series Racing Chair

As we start to review more expensive gaming chairs, you’ll start to see a recurring brand and that’s DXRacer. While there gaming products certainly aren’t cheap, they are some of the most feature rich and high-quality chairs specifically made for gaming that one can get.

The DXRacer Classic Series Racing Chair is a high-back chair, which allows gamers of varying heights to have adequate back support. The headrest is extremely comfortable and the seating is made for maximum lumbar support to support the lower back during those long gaming sessions as much as possible.

The chair also has multi-direction adjustable armrests. These armrests can be placed as high as you like and can tilt in any direction you like, making it possible to make the armrest perfect for everyone. On top of that the wide Aluminium base is extremely sturdy and holds up very well even with heavier users.

DXRacer’s Classic Edition gaming chair is not only one of the most comfortable chairs that you can get for under $400, but if I do say so myself it’s very stylish as well. With great design and comfort it easily takes my number one slot for gamers looking for a top chair under or just around $400.

AKRACING AK-5050 Gaming Chair

Our next chair is one that, despite being called an “office” chair, is one that seems more tailored for gaming in every way: The AK Racing chair.

Sporting multiple color choices and the popular “race car” design, the AK Racing is a chair that is meant for every possible user. This is thanks in part to it’s 400 pound weight limit and adjustable back rest, which can give every gamer a near perfect seat.

In contrast to this is these two wings that sit on the side of the chair’s seat, which are awkwardly placed and can make sitting uncomfortable for certain people. Luckily, this issue can somewhat be remedied with the adjustable armrest, which can be set to a height that is comfortable to the user and can provide extra room.

The chair can be adjusted to tilt and move with the user if they so choose as well. Should you wish to restrict this movement, that too can be easily handled, thanks to the chair’s “Tilt Resistance” settings.

Nearly perfect for every gamer, the AK Racing Office Chair is one that will allow you to game comfortably for hours on end.

SPACE Seating Professional R2 SpaceGrid Platinum Chair

Want a chair that gives you control over nearly everything you can imagine? Then our next chair, the Space Seating Professional R2 is for you.

The R2 professional chair is made using a memory foam padding for the seat. This padding will contour to the user’s body, giving everyone the perfect seat shape that they are looking for.

In addition to this users will be able to get an amazing amount of control with their seat. The SPACE R2 includes a multi-direction tilt, that puts the seat into any position the gamer is in, and a seat slider that allows you to move the cushion of the seat forward or backwards at will.

This, in combination with being a strong and durable seat as a whole, makes the R2 one of the best chairs that money can buy by providing a vast number of comfort options.

HON Lota Mid-Back Work Chair

The HON Lota is next up for us to take a look at, and is a mid-range chair that has a lot to offer, considering it claims to be “Made for Everyone”.

This claim is made because the chair automatically contours to anybody’s body shape. This makes it possible for almost everyone to sit down in the chair and feel like it’s already been broken in, shaping to their body for maximum comfort.

One interesting feature to go along with this is the chair’s weight activated controls, which will automatically raise and lower the chair based on the user sitting in it. For even more customized comfort, the Lota has armrest that can be adjusted in every way, from height to tilt and position.

While you can tilt the armrest as you like, you won’t be able to do the same with the seat itself, as it has limited tilt functionality. This makes it feel like the chair can barely tilt backwards or any other direction for that matter, and can make you actually feel like you are tilting forward a bit instead.

This is the only mar on an otherwise perfect chair, as the HON Lota is quite possible one of the most versatile chairs around, and really is for almost everyone.

VIVA OFFICE High-Back Thick Padded Chair

One of the things that gamers, or anyone for that matter, want out of a desk chair is for it to be sturdy and comfortable. These two things and more is what the VIVA OFFICE Big and Tall Office Chair brings to the table.

This chair is super simple to assemble, even for those not mechanically gifted. Coming in only a few pieces, assembly of this chair can easily take under 30 minuets, getting you gaming sooner.

Because you don’t want to be shifting in discomfort during while playing, this chair provides gamers with two unique comfort options. The first is the spring pack padding, which helps the seat to contour to the gamers body, as well as absorb any potential shock. The second thing this chair provides is a waterfall seat, which puts extra padding behind the user’s legs, eliminating leg fatigue.

The one odd thing with this chair comes when you consider that the chair is labeled as being “Big and Tall”. This is because the chair actually sits kind of low to the ground, which can make it a bit harder to use for “Big and Tall” individuals.

Still, that doesn’t take away from everything else the chair provides. VIVA OFFICE once again proves why they make great gaming chairs, providing one of the best chairs that gamers can buy.

Best High-End Gaming Chairs

Do you want the best, most comfortable gaming chairs around, and have zero concern about how much you spend? These High-End gaming chairs are just what you are looking for. While they may be a bit expensive to most, the amount of comfort and features that these chairs give you simply can not be beaten. These chairs will cost you upwards of $400 so nothing to sneeze at, but they’re the best of the best.

DXRacer King Series Gaming Chair

DX Racer is one that likes to make some lofty claims about their gaming chairs, this time saying this chair is one that is “Fit for a King”. Can the King Series chair possible live up to that expectation?

This chair was designed with gamers of every size in mind, with the chair being made “Big and Tall”. This design helps to accommodate both the smallest and lightest of human beings, as well as the tallest and heaviest with it’s wide seat and tall back.

To further accommodate gamers, the chair has several adjustable features. This includes the height and tilt of the seat, as well as the direction of the armrest, allowing for the best seating experience for the user. Despite this bevy of features, the chair is extremely easy to assemble, with assembly time being just a matter of minuets.

While it’s hard to be certain if this chair is “Fit for a King” (do you see any kings anywhere?), it’s hard to argue that this claim is more than valid. What is certain is that almost every gamer in existence will love the DX Racer King Series Chair.

HON VL700 High-Back Chair

The HON VL700 is a great example of what kind of comfort a high-end gaming chair can provide as it can rival any recliner you may own.

With an extra-thick padded seat and adjustable lumbar support for your back, you can get a comfort that is not unlike that of a couch or recliner. This makes it possible to game for endless hours and not have to worry about discomfort.

Another interesting aspect of this chair that adds to the comfort is the chair’s “Knee tilt” reclining. This feature automatically adjust the seat when reclining so that the user can lean back and still keep their feet planted on the ground.
While all these comfort options are cool, what seems odd in comparison is how limited the armrest are. The armrest can only move up and down which, while it is good for a cheaper chair, is kind of lacking for a more expensive chair such as this.

One small hiccup like that should not turn you off, however. One of the most comfortable seats you can buy anywhere for any price, the HON VL700 is a must own.

GM Seating Ergolux Executive Chair

The GM Seating Ergolux is certainly as seat that wants to get noticed. To do this, the Ergolux provides people with possibly the only top-to-bottom customizable chair.

After some moderate assembly, the Ergolux is ready for the user to customize to their liking. To begin, the user can adjust the height of their backrest and their headrest, as well as their lumbar support cushion. This will help to create the perfect back support for the user.

Next up is the armrest, which can be adjusted in any position the gamer in question so chooses, as well as the tilt tension for the chair. Finally, the seat can be slid into any position that the user chooses, which combines with the other features listed to create a perfect chair for nearly anybody. Well… nearly perfect that is.

With all the customization that is available with the Ergolux, it seems the creators overlooked the seating itself, which is a bit on the hard and uncomfortable side. In addition to this is the leather that the seat is made with, which can become warm and sticky on a hot day or after an extended period.

With a few pillows, these problems can be easily fixed. Sure, aspects of the GM Seating Ergolux could be better, but this is an all-around good chair that provides quite a bit of personalization to the user.

If you’re looking for the best chair that I can recommend under $1000, Herman Miller’s Aeron Chair is easily my top pick. For gamers who spend hours sitting everyday, this will keep your posture perfect, while not being the slight bit uncomfortable.

The Aeron Chair comes in three sizes, A being the smallest, and C the biggest. So no matter how big or small you are this chair is a great fit.

The Aeron is a chair that also has the ability to automatically adjust with your bodies movements. This means even if you have to move all over the place while gaming, the chair will keep up with you and you will always be comfortable.

Adding to your comfort is the unique, patented Aeron material that this chair is named after. This material allows the chair to keep cool no matter what the activity you are doing or the weather.

The only thing working against this chair is the price, which comes up to nearly $1000 dollars. This is quite expensive considering there are plenty of cheaper options available that are great as well. However, those options don’t come with the same kind of twelve year warranty that the Aeron does, which guarantees coverage should anything happen to the chair.

Expensive? Yes. Worth every penny? You bet you. The Aeron may not be the most feature rich chair, but it is one that is guaranteed to keep you in comfort for years to come.

If you are a gamer, chances are that you like to move around a lot, or that you like to find a sitting arrangement that you are more comfortable in. Thankfully, the Steelcase Gesture Chair is a chair that is ready for your needs.

Featuring many different and bright color options to match your style, the Gesture is a chair that understands human movement. This is why the back of the chair is designed to automatically contour to the human spine, making for a comfortable back no matter how you are sitting.

Speaking of the way you may be sitting, sometimes people like to tuck their legs under them, or even cross them, while gaming. The Gesture has accommodated for that as well, with the placement of the armrest promoting comfortable seating no matter how you wish to sit.

If you happen to be a taller individual such as myself, however, you may find this seat is not too much to your liking. For all the good things that the gesture can do, it is rather short, which will make it a bit uncomfortable for taller folks.

For the rest of the gaming universe, though, you can’t really go wrong with the Gesture. No matter how you choose to play your games, the Gesture will “Have your back”… I’ll go home now.

Herman Miller can make some gaming chairs that are not for the faint of heart, especially this pricey chair called the Embody. This chair will set you back somewhere around $1300 dollars, so you better have your wallet ready for this one.

Should you buy this chair, the Embody will give you nearly everything you could ever want out of a gaming chair. The Embody is able to encompass a gamer’s body, and automatically responds and moves with your body. No matter how much you move, the chair will be right there with you, and will also stay cool as a cucumber.

For added comfort, there are a few adjustable options that you won’t find in many other chairs. This includes adjustable seat depth, which allows you to sit as low in your seat as you like, as well as a back rest that you can fine tune for your own personal needs.

The only con that I could possibly think of for this chair is that it doesn’t let you recline too much. Unlike other chairs, especially those in a similar price range, the reclining options are rather limited, and you’ll find yourself sitting upright most times.

Sure, not everyone can afford this beast of a gaming chair. But if you can, the money you spend on the Herman Miller Embody is money well spent, giving you a chair you can game in for very long times.
